Wedding Party

Travis Williams
Travis Williams - Best Man
Winner of the Groomsmen Award for "Longest Beard," Travis has been Eric's most inseparable friend since 9th grade. Nothing brings people together quite like failure, and these two have played in enough terrible high school rock bands together to cement a lifetime of friendship. Unlike Eric, Travis thankfully grew out of this phase and went on to front several excellent bands in the Lancaster and Miami music scenes--which he uses to pay the bills while he focuses on his true dream of becoming an English teacher. Travis currently resides in Boca Raton FL, which makes his long journey north to PA extra-special--especially since he now thinks 75 degrees is cold weather.
Dr. Felecia Sumner
Dr. Felecia Sumner - Matron of Honor
Felecia is Monique's older and favorite sister! She is truly an inspiration, and someone Monique's always looked up to. Though she lives hundreds of miles away in Georgia, she manages to make the family feel like she's still just a quick drive away. She's an amazing mother and wife and sister and daughter and doctor, and we really want to know what she eats to be so incredible all the time! One day when she and her husband inevitably run their own practice, Monique hopes to tag along and help manage the business (as long as there's no math involved). Oh, and by the way, Felecia is the mommy of the cool cutey flower girl Isabella. Having Felecia as the Matron of Honor was a no-brainer, since she's is the best sister you can imagine and always knows how to put Monique at ease!
Mike Filoromo
Mike Filoromo - Groomsman
Winner of the Groomsmen Award for "Most Married Groomsman," Mike has been an excellent Brother-In-Law to Eric for nearly a decade. In that time, he has helped and mentored Eric in countless ways--including gifting him his first bass guitar, explaining how football works, and demonstrating the importance of letting your wife decide how to furnish the house. When he's not practicing employment law and raising two adorable daughters with his wife Kristen, he can also be found volunteering with the church and writing articles for several legal publications--by which we mean they are legally considered publications.
Ashley Clarke
Ashley Clarke - Bridesmaid
Ashley is wise beyond her years, and you can always count on honest yet respectable advice when you need it. Can we also mention that she's an awesomely incredible poet and photographer, who travels the country sharing her talents while working for the government (not the CIA shhh). Ashley and Monique have always been close, as their birthdays are one day apart and they'd always use their earned "riches" to paint the Montgomery Mall when they were younger. Ashley is one of the very few cousins who embraces Monique's weirdness, and she absolutely appreciates that fact. The day will be much more mellow with Ashley's cool, calm, and collected presence and Monique is so happy her cuzzy is standing by her side on this amazing day!
Zach Hocker
Zach Hocker - Groomsman
As the runner up for the "Most DNA In Common With Groom" award, some lesser men might feel slighted. But not Zachary Hocker. He has no time for awards and titles, because he came here to be a first-rate groomsmen at a first-rate wedding. Zach is truly one of the most likeable people around--he's never been to a Reavey/Wiggins event in which he didn't get along with everyone, and has always been a helpful and supportive cousin to both Eric and Pat. After dealing with both of them for this many years, he's more than earned his spot in the wedding party.
Kristen Filoromo
Kristen Filoromo - Bridesmaid
Kristen is Eric's older and most favorite sister! She always has the best advice and is a definite comedic delight on most occasions. Monique is excited to have her as part of the crew for selfish purposes - as she has the best aesthetic eye imaginable and will be a dream bridesmaid when it comes to planning. Kristen has always been there for Eric and Monique as a sister, and is a truly hardworking mother, wife , daughter and granddaughter and servant of the Lord - who sacrifices her time for anyone who asks. Kristen is also the mommy of the awesomely adorable flower girl Gemma. Monique is so glad to have Kristen by her side in this new journey, and can't wait to call her sister soon!
Jill Gershenson
Jill Gershenson - Bridesmaid
Jill and Monique are what you call an odd-couple, but also kindred spirits. Monique guessed Jill's email password in the 5th grade, and ever since then they've been BFFs. They've had a lot of ups, and no downs in their 18+ years of friendship. Jill has lived and traveled all over the world, but has always made sure WhatsApp and Facebook are ready to go, so she never feels far away. She'll be leaving the area again to continue her awesome journey to becoming a child speech pathologist at Vanderbilt University (yes seriously Vanderbilt), but its certain that she'll still be the bestest friend imaginable even miles away. Monique's mom is also adorably excited to have Jill in the wedding (almost as much as Monique) - because she's always been considered family!
Patrick Reavey
Patrick Reavey - Groomsman
Winner of the Groomsmen Award for "Most DNA In Common With Groom," Patrick has known Eric longer than any other groomsman. When asked about having Eric as a younger brother for 25 years, Patrick replied "2/10, would not recommend," and asked if we accept returns. In addition to his successful work with A.T. Chadwick on the new Comcast Tower in Philadelphia, he also has a background in Exercise Science and Physical Therapy, which has been excellent for Eric and other family members who don't want to pay for a personal trainer. In his spare time, Patrick enjoys long walks on the beach, hiking, and I'm just kidding he likes video games.
Mina Lee
Mina Lee - Bridesmaid
Mina is one of most independent and downright unnecessarily coolest people Monique has ever met. Like, seriously no one should be this cool. They became friends in middle school, when they were a part of the gifted crew - but noticed they were one of the few that didn't like to life too seriously. Throughout the years, Mina has moved hours away for college and across the country for work (while traveling the world) - but always puts in an effort to make sure her friends don't feel abandoned. Monique adores her genuine friendship, strength and wisdom - and is so excited to have Mina by her side throughout this awesome journey (though she apologizes for making her fly from California on Thanksgiving weekend).
Peter Singh
Peter Singh - Groomsman
Winner of the Groomsmen Award for "Most Suits," Peter has a passion for dressing well: not only does he wear a full suit for work every day, he also believes they are a superior outfit for sleep, parties, and the gym. While he and Eric have only known each other for a few years now, Peter has been as good a friend to Eric as he has been a brother to Monique. When he's not busy with his work as a lawyer, Peter's hobbies include recording and playing multiple instruments, inventing, and barber-ing. His hobbies do not typically include sleep.
Megan Nees
Megan Nees - Bridesmaid
Megan, also known as Middle Meggie, is a one-of-a-kind friend. The cutest thing about the friendship of Megan and Monique, is that their older sisters are also high school besties! Monique met Meggie in high school when they had 3 classes together in 10th grade and were like "hey let's walk to classes together and be friends". Throughout the years, Megan has lived across the country and has worked her tush off holding multiple jobs at a time, but has always been the friend you can call on any hour of the day. Megan is the one to count on when you're having a rough day to talk some sense into you to make sure you see the bright side of life. Monique feels so blessed to have her as part of the bridal crew - she's seriously the bees knees.
Bobby Sutcliffe
Bobby Sutcliffe - Groomsman
Winner of the Groomsmen Award for "Longest Friendship with Groom," Bobby has known Eric since they were both 2 years old. Consequently, they learned everything together: from what is/is not food, to how to form complete sentences, all the way through how to sing, dance, and write a 5 page high school paper. Bobby has always been a first-rate friend: through all the sports Eric was terrible at, to his obsession with The Lord of The Rings, and even through the darkest depths of the Mid-2000's Emo era, Bobby has stuck by Eric through all his worst phases. In his spare time, Bobby is a multi-talent: he sings, plays guitar, and also plays and coaches soccer.
Morgan Smith
Morgan Smith - Bridesmaid
Morgan AKA Chloe AKA Phobymo is the most fun person you'll ever meet in your life. She's also super talented (an accountant by day / professional photographer by night / should probably just be a comedian as well because her snapchats are fire). Morgan and Monique met in college and instantly realized they should be friends. Morgan knows how to bring out the energy in Monique like no one else - and, though they're possibly really annoying on the outside looking in, they really enjoy their British accents and milly rocks together. Monique aspires to have Morgan's style, confidence, dance moves, and all-around talent and can't imagine walking down the aisle without her and her amazing aura being part of the bride tribe.
Gemma Filoromo
Gemma Filoromo - Flower Girl
Gemma is the most patient and understanding gals you'll ever meet - at the tender age of 5. She brings out the best moments from Eric on the guitar with her dance moves to match. Monique could see how special Gemma was to the whole family, and felt so cool when she learned her name, though it was "Conique" for a few months (yes, it was just as adorable as it sounds). You can always count on Gemma for sweet compliment or a quick etiquette lesson. Just spend 5 minutes around her, and you'll ask Mike and Kristen what their secret is to raising such an amazing daughter. Eric and Monique can't wait to have her as a role model for their future babies!
Isabella Sumner
Isabella Sumner - Flower Girl
Izzy, Bella, Isabella - who knows what this growing girl will want to be called when the big day comes? All we can be certain of, is that she'll likely be able to read this website and spot our typos. Izzy is Monique's first niece and only goddaughter, and she really has an extra special place in the couple's hearts. Her weekly Facetimes are always the best part of Monique's week - and though its hard watching her grow up hundreds of miles away, it will be great to watch her flourish as a flower girl. Her spunk, creativity, intelligence and all-around beauty are so visible even at the young age of 3, and we know the day will be so much more bright with her personality and smile gracing the wedding party.
